Alexander: Debatable how good he actually was even as a military commander, a better leader for Greece would be Pericles or maybe even Philip II Alexander's father.
Isn't there also quite a bit of evidence saying Dido existed?Dido, well, most likely did not exist. At all.
Wasn't Alexander technically the leader of Macedonia, who just happened to annex Greece?
Macedonia is аn area in the current borders of northern Greece and southern Bulgaria. Macedonia as a country is something that never existed until 10 years ago.
Also I always thought William Wallace would've been a better choice over Boudicca for the Celts.
Uh, wrong. Macedon, or ancient Macedonia, went by both names. Although it shared in Hellenic culture, it was considered separate from Greece proper due to its location on the fringe of the Hellenic cultural sphere. Also, Macedon just so happened to forcefully annex the city-states of the Greek peninsula just before it went on to challenge the Persian Empire.

I miss Stalin, but I'm kind of glad he isn't in this game. I used to hate the fact that they would allow him, Mao, Shaka, and Genghis (Attila really pisses me off now too) to be in the game, but Hitler was off limits. And don't even try the whole genocide argument, Stalin and Mao put Hitler to shame in the numbers game, and Genghis took the whole cake! Along with most of Asia!
